own--especially about the haunted house next door...the place local

But when volunteers discover a body while cleaning out a shed,
questions pile up faster than discarded lumber. Mel notices signs

ghosts reaching out to her for help, or has the house claimed
another victim?
Now, surprised to find herself as the SFPD's unofficial "ghost
consultant," Mel must investigate murders both past and present
before a spooky killer finishes another job.
